On May 12, news broke that the Mohegan Sun (which is owned by the Mohegan tribe) has hired the investment bank Allen & Company to help search for a buyer for the Connecticut Sun WNBA franchise.

This news, which was first reported by Sportico, also included that a franchise relocation is likely, if and when this sale is made. As it currently stands, the Sun are playing in the WNBA’s smallest media market.

When speaking with the media about this, team president Jen Rizzotti said, “It wasn't about exploring options to sell the team ... they are exploring options for strategic investments around the team + its future," per CT Insider's Maggie Vanoni.
